A=-nsta, Mstine 04336 naar Mr. ',w'.a.y:
{
TMim letter will serve as ennF4rnation of our discussion thi= - uing.
EEPEI has anade a pre 1T-f==ry estinuate af the near-terna 6
effe_t of the Maine YanE=e =hmedown.
It is our estimszte that i
it will een=e the burning of shu Inntely 40,000 additional i
barrels of oil per day, inc1=if as operation of both internal i
consbustion units and fossil-fired units.
t The estimated cost l
of eMa anLYfrional oil-fired operation is approrimmately
$ 500,000 per day.
The err" t over the full t'u c =- th period may be smore extensive as t9=eme eart===tes are s- !mt on the conservative side.
Very truly y - s,
